We get asked this question a lot. That's why we are here to help. It's not easy to choose a 3D scanner that needs to capture different sizes, surfaces, shapes and textures. It also depends on your budget. The difference in price comes from different components such as the camera lens, projector, light source, and software complexity. Let's outline 4 important features you need to understand to decide which model would be most suited for your project. 1. Light Source - Structured Light Or Laser?
2. Accuracy and Resolution Accuracy The accuracy gives an information about the authenticity of a 3D model to the real object. Knowing the accuracy of your scanner is very important because it determines which model is most suitable for quality inspection, reverse engineering design, medical health, or any other applications with very rigid accuracy requirements. Usually, the higher accuracy the scanner is able to generate, the more applications it could be suitable for, and of course, the higher the cost. Remember though, not all 3D scanning projects require the highest accuracy, so consider your budget and requirements to make a decision on which model to purchase. The accuracy used in the specifications of the scanner usually refer to the accuracy of a single scan. The volumetric accuracy refers to the relationship between 3D data accuracy and object size; with EinScan Pro Series the accuracy is reduced by 0.3mm per meter. This data is based on measuring the center of sphere with marker alignment. The volumetric accuracy of EinScan HX in laser mode is 0.06 mm per meter.
With EinScan handheld 3D Scanners the Pro Series and the H series, the resolution can be changed depending on the object size to ensure the 3D scan data size is manageable. 3. Scan Speed Scan speed is a specification that definese how long it takes to scan one given object. It especially matters when you are going to scan the human body, as people can not stay still for a long time, and it also helps to improve the work efficiency when you are 3D scanning large objects like cars, buildings, etc. Scan speed can be defined by the number of points collected per second, frames per second, or how many seconds it takes to do a single scan. The more points or frames collected per second, the faster the scan speed. 4. Desktop or Handheld Desktop 3D scanners are provides higher accuracy and enables automation of the whole 3D scan process. The EinScan Pro series handheld 3D scanners can be turned into a desktop/fixed 3D scanners with the Industrial Kit. For 3D scanning larger objects (like humans or cars), using the handheld 3D scanner is the only solution. So which model shall I buy?
Here is a comparison at a glance. Accuracy Comparison In reality all of the above models have similar accuracies. EinScan Pro HD and EinScan Pro 2X 2020 both have the same accuracy of 0.045mm in Handheld HD mode, while it is 0.05mm for EinScan H in body and standard mode, and 0.04mm for EinScan HX in laser mode. So accuracy might not be a critical parameter for you to choose a proper device among EinScan series. If high accuracy is a top priority on your agenda, EinScan HX is the best choice among all EinScan scanners. Resolution Comparison EinScan Pro Series (2X 2020 & HD) achieves a higher resolution compared to EinScan H series. Resolution captured by EinScan Pro 2X 2020 is marginally higher than the Pro HD due to the single scan range being smaller. The EinScan H series have a different projecting pattern to the Pro Series thus the resolution is lower. But remember, the EinScan HX can achieve a higher accuracy vs. the Pro Series. Scan Speed Comparison To compare the speed of scanners, two facts need to be considered: single scan range and the points captured per second. For points captured per second, in Handheld Rapid mode, all scanners of the EinScan Pro Series come with the same speed of 1,500,000 points/s. However as the EinScan Pro HD has a larger single scan range, it can scan large objects at a faster speed. EinScan H (standard scan&body scan) and EinScan-HX (rapid scan) come with the same scan speed in terms of points captured per second and scan range, which are all faster than Pro series. In the face scan mode of EinScan-H, the maximum scan range could reach 780mmx 900mm enabling a fast scan. Hope this answers many of the questions you may have had!

A single scan can collect measurement data from a volume of 120 mm x 60 mm x 45 mm. The advantage of the eviXscan 3D FinePrecision scanner is the short scanning time. The combination of high-speed cameras and the modern DLP light projection system, whose signal triggers the cameras every time a new pattern is displayed, reduces the scan acquisition time to several hundred milliseconds. FinePrecision scans with high level of detail which is crucial when measuring elements of precision mechanics (micro rotors, small plastic elements made by injection molding, objects manufactured on CNC machines or by 3D printing). The scanner allows also precise 3D scanning of sharp-edged tools or components. FinePrecision can also be used in the scanning of implants, in prosthetics as well as in jewelry manufacturing and watchmaking industry. Its precision enables its use in the optimization of the 3D printing process. – Based on experience with our Heavy Duty scanners and discussions with our customers indicating areas where precise measurement and very detailed surface mapping was needed, we defined the requirements for a scanner that is a solution for these unfulfilled needs – said Kamil Góra, Product Manager of 3D Scanners in Evatronix. – According to these requirements our R&D department developed a product ready to meet everyday challenges of metrology labs with measurement of fine mechanics objects. Using cameras and projector optimized specifically for our scanner, allowed us to offer a product adjusted to the needs of its future users, really a scanner “from engineers for engineers”. eviXscan 3D FinePrecision can also be used in the field of predictive maintenance. The identification of microdamage to key components of production equipment (e.g. turbine blades) helps to prevent potential failures, which in turn reduces costs of downtimes. Fine Precision scanner is available for demonstration and ordering now with first deliveries planned for the second half of March 2021.

There are many factors to consider when selecting a 3D scanner. What is your budget, what are you trying to scan, are you trying to scan quickly, do you need color texture, do you want high resolution as well as accuracy? Which technology is best? What are you going to do with the 3D scan files? Growshapes is focused on distributing structured light 3D scanners which project light patterns onto an object to capture the surface measurement. It scans a whole dimension, so it is quick. But even within the structured light 3D scanner category, there is whole range from low, mid to very high end with different manufacturers offering different hardware and software capability. To help you figure out which 3D scanner best serves your objective, we created a quick comparison of the 3D scan file of EinScan SE, EinScan Pro 2X and HP Pro S3. Each 3D scanner has its Pros and Cons and it really depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to achieve. So, download the file below and see if this helps you in your decision making. If you have realized that you need much more high resolution and high accuracy 3D scanning capabilities, definitly go for the more expensive industrial-grade eviXscan Heavy Duty Quadro. The hardware and software is much more advanced. 3D scanner is not a "one-size-fits-all" type of tech product. It's horses for courses for sure.

Recently the media picked up a story about how 3D printing saved the day to produce valves for an intensive care unit in Italy to treat COVID-19 patients. The Italian startup company reverse engineered, and 3D printed these valves that are key components of Venturi oxygen masks that are connected to ventilators. When you read the details however, you realize they jumped various legal hurdles to do this - the valve is protected by copyright and patents with its blueprint not released but in an emergency case such as this one, the hospital seemed to have allowed them to reverse engineer the valve and 3D print them. The CEO of the company that 3D printed the valves is now is explaining what his intentions were on his Facebook post and LinkedIn video (in Italian). When emergencies of such enormous scale occur as is happening right in front of our eyes, you just want to help if you have the capability and technology to solve the problem quickly. But regulations exist to ensure safety and durability thus everybody in the 3D printing industry is doing a thoughtful balancing act. It is not clear if they used a 3D scanner or just used calipers to do the reverse engineering but 3D scanners can play a key role in enabling accurate and quick reverse engineering of physical objects. Using 3D scanning technology, you can capture the surface dimensions of complex physical objects accurately and quickly especially with the structured light 3D scanners, then then reverse engineer with various CAD software such as Geomagic and Solid Edge which comes bundled with EinScan Pro 2X & 2X Plus to create a blueprint that can be 3D printed. Have a look at how you can reverse engineer products that are missing a blueprint by using 3D scanners. https://www.growshapes.com/einscan-pro-2x-3d-scanner-series-bundle.html Growshapes is an HP Silver Partner of HP 3D scanning solutions and the official U.S. distributor of Shining 3D EinScan 3D scanners.
